Chevy is bringing back the 1LE option package for the 2013 Camaro. The package adds a group of track-day parts to the Camaro SS and keeps the sticker price at less than 40,000 bucks.

The 1LE package comes with upgraded dampers, larger sway bars, tougher rear-axle shafts and a strut tower brace. But you can get it only on the Camaro SS with a manual transmission.

The package also adds the sticky wheels and tires from the 580-hp ZL1 Camaro and its flat-bottomed steering wheel.

The 2013 Camaro goes on sale this fall. Final pricing will be released later this year.

Jeep on Tuesday previewed its toys for the annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari. It introduced six vehicles--four were concepts, one was production possible and the last was a Moparized Wrangler.

The most impressive of the bunch was the Wrangler Apache. It gets the 6.4-liter Hemi with 470 hp, a 4.5-inch lift kit, suspension upgrades, Warn winch--the whole deal.

The Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is the one that might be produced. It's a brawny-looking SUV with matte gray on the hood and red accents. It also gets 18-inch off-road wheels and tires, and rock rails to protect the body.

Shelby American is celebrating its 50th birthday by turning the Mustang GT500 up to 11. Hundred. Horsepower.

You heard correctly, Shelby will offer the Shelby 1000 S/C, a non-street-legal car, with more than 1,100 hp.

If that's a bit too much, there is also a street-legal version of the Shelby 1000, packing 950 hp. We'll get to see the cars next week at the New York auto show.

Production numbers will be limited. The street car will cost $150,000, and the track car costs $200,000--ahem, that's in addition to the price of a Mustang GT500.
